The music genre that I have chosen to focus on is R&B (Rhythm and Blues). Contemporary RnB is a very popular genre of music and has been reaching fans in many countries across the world for many years. The style of R&B contains is made up of different elements such as, Funk, Soul and Dance. It originated from the African-American rhythm and blues genre in the 1940’s and still is a popular music genre to date. R&B was at its most high and gained most recognition and popularity in the 1980’s with mainstream R&B artists like Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. However it has established many successful bands and solo artists over time, such as: Boys II Men, Usher, R.Kelly, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Mary J.Blige.
